Visit the JHM Children's Museum

Learn about Jewish Tradition as you play!

In the JHM children's museum children from ages 6 to 12 can
learn about Jewish life and Jewish traditions in a playful way. The
children's museum is situated in the Jewish Historical Museum and
features three floors that have been furnished as the home of a
Jewish Family, the Hollanders. Mum, Dad and the three children each
experience being Jewish in their own way.
Max the Matzo is your guide in the house. He tells jokes, has a lot
of wisdom and makes the visit into a real party. In the living room
you meet the Hollander family, in the music room you can play
instruments and in the kitchen you learn more about kosher food and
you can bake your own challah (woven bread). And there are many
more rooms! Visit our virtual children's museum with video's, games
and more!

Practical information

School Visits

Hollandsche Schouwburg (National Holocaust Memorial). Learn more
